Additional Details

'I have sent to Lodge to know where to get the pictures of Morris and Adams; also the suggestion about apia bay.
'I haven't an idea where to get a picture of the battle of New Orleans; but surely pictures of Andrew Jackson must be plenty.
'The Washington being the first piece, his picture might go in as the frontispiece; but perhaps the picture of Grant on horseback would be more striking.'
